Hello,

I recently picked up the newest Yoga a couple of weeks ago and have seriously loved this thing (besides the battery life). It could really do everything I wanted it to, until this morning when I placed the laptop on a flat surface and noticed one corner would lift up. I looked at it head-on and realized the laptop already seems uneven or slightly bent.

I've been very careful with this laptop, which is why I’m confused about what could have caused it. My only guess is that it could possibly be a thermal issue since I have been gaming on it quite a bit, although I’m not sure. Luckily I have a good warranty and can send it in for repair, but it’s still frustrating having to do that this early into its lifespan.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, is this still a laptop worth keeping? I’m planning on using it for college in a few months.

Tldr: Despite babying the computer and very little use overall screen, audio, and battery issues appeared within 2 years of ownership but outside the one year warranty. Not at all worth the price paid.

I can’t seem to make reviews on Best Buy or Lenovo’s website so I’m posting here if anyone if considering this computer or a version of it.

The overall experience of owning this laptop has been poor. I did a ton of research before purchasing and thought this one would be just right. I wanted 32gb of ram, but also something with a really nice screen and speakers. For the first 6 months to a year the computer was great. The screen was incredible, it was responsive, battery life was okay. All in all I was happy with the purchase. After about the year mark things started to go downhill and have continued to.

I am very gentle with my computer, both physically and computing wise. When I first got it I thought I might need strong computing power for GIS consulting work, but that didn’t end up happening so the computer is solely used for basic web browsing.

The first major problem was the screen. A purple hue exists over part of the screen. This just appeared one day out of no where. When part of the selling point is the great screen having a purple haze over a good chunk of it is annoying and distracting.

The second major problem has been the battery. For the past 3 months the battery will start draining at an insane clip. Like 40% in 5 minutes. I checked the battery health all came back normal. I checked the app usage, nothing sticks out there either. I was recommended to do a full reset by clicking the tiny reset button on the underside with a safety pin… turns out that doesn’t work either.

Most recently the audio glitches and makes a weird grating noise when watching videos.

Between the screen, battery, and audio issues it has been a major disappointment and none of the issues came up until the one year warranty expired. For $1,700 (the price I paid at time of purchase) I expected a lot more out of it.

Hello everyone, I have a version with 9 Ultra 285H and RTX 5060. When launching a ten year old game (Battlefield 1), didn't expect it to run 60 in native 3k but also assumed that switching to 1920x1200 (not 1080 because of the display's 16:10 ratio) will yield significantly more than 50-60 fps on ultra (l get 20-30 fps on native 3k and ultra). just bought it recently, and am afraid it might have some hidden handicaps I don't know about. tried manipulating the Nvidia App, even turning the automatic clocking function in there. The latest Game Ready driver was installed and even reinstalled. Certainly I tried Lenovo Legion Toolkit and changing power settings, as well as performance mode. Everything is done on a charger to supply the maximum power. Also, I asked Gemini for assistance, but we all know how LLMS like to come up with imaginary settings, and since the laptop is new they don't have much information about it. For those who have been optimizing their gaming or non-gaming Lenovos, can you share some advice on how to go about this situation? greatly appreciate everyone in advance!
